  Yeah, I think it is a bit tricky to draw the line. Consider brick and motor pharmacy stores putting generic brand white-labeled items next to name brand items. This has helped the consumer (IMO). But, at the same time I can see how it can be abused. The tricky part is coming up with a way to get best of both worlds. Unfortunately, I have personally seen the pendulum swing from one extreme to the other (based on rushed outrage driven legislation) too many times.
